Top 10 Social Media Marketing Tips

Set up a Google alert for your brand and engage the people who are talking about you, wherever they are talking.

Set up alerts for your industry (especially if no one is talking about your brand).

You don’t HAVE to have a Facebook page.

Use Facebook advertising, it’s cheap.

Keep an eye on what people near you are saying on Twitter.

Spend some time each day reading about what other people are doing. There are 1 billion social media marketing blogs out there. Reading blogs is much easier than writing blogs.

Create a community of interest around what you do. It takes time, but it’s worth it.

Don’t start something you can’t finish or maintain properly or it’s a waste of time and you’re better of with Google Ads.

Use LinkedIn as a networking tool. Join groups and ask questions.

If you want people to talk about you, be creative (or pay someone who is).
